APUSH Credit
Saving you money… one dbq at a time

2. College is expensive

3. Say you attend UW-Madison
Fall 2015 Semester: courses, $
Average Courseload: 15 credits/semester
So, approximately $351 and change per credit.
Let’s just call it $350… it’s easier for math
Also, Go Badgers!

4. The AP Exam
The Advanced Placement United States History (APUSH) exam is administered in May.
A score of 3, 4, or 5 is considered passing.
A score of 3, 4, or 5 will get you 3 credits at UW-Madison
A score of 4 or 5 will earn you 6 credits at many other schools
The AP Exam cost $91 to take in the Spring of 2017 (unlikely to increase significantly for Spring 2018)

5. Bottom Line…
For the cost of about $91, you can get up to six credits’ worth of study out of the way.
As a refresher, each credit costs about $350.
$350 * 3 credits = $1050
$350 * 6 credits = $2100
That’s a lot of Ramen.
